I’ve started looking into bridal bouquets. After spending time at a wedding expo I couldn’t belive the cost of fresh flowers! – Costs for a full bridal party are easily $1000, but apparently fake flowers aren’t cheap either!

Given all the other expenses and the standard Oh, it’s a wedding! +150% pricing here in Australia I had origionally budgeted $160 for flowers – including center peices (sounds like a tall order doesn’t it?). I spent a lot of time researching flower options previously (see Inspiration) and have returned to revamp this post with more relivant information, cost comparisons, and to adjust for my change in taste. Ever the fickle bride *cough* bridezilla */cough*, I no longer want blue flowers, I want to use Australian Natives which may be far more difficult to source. Please note this will be an ongoing post, updated whenever my research uncovers something useful.

EDIT: 22nd August 2011 Tried on the dress with the new shoes, looks awesome 😀

So today I was walking around the shops with PC and I was talking about the sort of shoes I wanted to wear at the wedding. We happened to have stopped right next to a shoe shop that was in the process of closing and right there were the _perfect_ shoes (well, once I check if the colour matches the dress) and they were only $39.95 so now I have shoes, another thing off the check list 😀

Wedding Shoes

What do you think?

EDIT:
So, I have been considering getting a parasol to go with my dress for the wedding, still umming and arring if I should. The internet pointed me to one I like the look of though, do you think it would go with the shoes?
